Our surgery residency includes an annual Resident Research Day (RRD) for presentation of resident research. We hypothesized that RRD stimulates the development of novel research. We evaluated this among our residents and at other institutions.
An electronic survey was distributed to current and alumni residents at our institution. The survey questions addressed residents' perceptions of RRD and were graded on a 5-point Likert scale. Another electronic survey was distributed to Program Directors (PDs) or Associate Program Directors (APDs) for all U.S. general surgery residencies. Questions assessed type of RRD and impact on research productivity. Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington) and MedCalc (MedCalc Software, Inc, Mariakerke, Belgium) software were used for analyses.
The response rate was 76% (47/62) among residents and alumni. These 47 respondents submitted 98 projects to RRD, which included retrospective clinical studies (53%), basic science (35%), medical education research (6%), and prospective clinical papers (6%). Twenty projects (20%) were created expressly for RRD, of which 7 were presented at outside scientific meetings and 8 were published in peer-reviewed journals. The response rate was 47% among PD/APD (88/188). Most programs have an RRD or similar forum (78%) without difference between university and community programs (p = 0.78). Higher rates of resident submission were associated with dedicated research time for most residents (p = 0.01). Required submission was associated with novel projects created for RRD (p < 0.001). Thirty-seven percent of programs reported greater than 25% of submitted projects were created for RRD.
RRD and similar forums occur at most general surgery training programs. They stimulate research activity and satisfy most residents' expectations. RRD leads to completion of novel research projects that are presented both internally and in peer-reviewed form.
我们的外科住院医师培训项目设有年度住院医师研究日（RRD），用于展示住院医师的研究成果。我们假设RRD能促进创新性研究的开展。我们在本院住院医师以及其他机构中对此进行了评估。
向本院现职及往届住院医师发放了电子调查问卷。问卷问题涉及住院医师对RRD的看法，并采用5分制李克特量表进行评分。向美国所有普通外科住院医师培训项目的项目主任（PD）或副主任（APD）发放了另一份电子调查问卷。问题评估了RRD的类型及其对研究产出的影响。使用微软Excel（微软公司，华盛顿州雷德蒙德）和MedCalc（MedCalc软件公司，比利时马里亚克）软件进行分析。
住院医师及往届生的回复率为76%（47/62）。这47名受访者向RRD提交了98个项目，其中包括回顾性临床研究（53%）、基础科学研究（35%）、医学教育研究（6%）和前瞻性临床论文（6%）。有20个项目（20%）是专门为RRD设立的，其中7个在外部科学会议上进行了展示，8个发表在同行评审期刊上。PD/APD的回复率为47%（88/188）。大多数项目设有RRD或类似论坛（78%），大学项目和社区项目之间没有差异（p = 0.78）。对于大多数住院医师而言，较高的投稿率与专门的研究时间相关（p = 0.01）。要求投稿与为RRD设立的新项目相关（p < 0.001）。37%的项目报告称，超过25%的投稿项目是为RRD设立的。
大多数普通外科培训项目都设有RRD及类似论坛。它们激发了研究活动，满足了大多数住院医师的期望。RRD促使完成了新的研究项目，并在内部和同行评审形式中进行了展示。
